Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Spaghetti with clams
Donuts
We will stroll through the villa's vegetable garden, immersing ourselves in the olive and fruit trees. In the kitchen, we will prepare spaghetti with fresh pasta, helping ourselves with an antique beechwood guitar. We will then proceed with the cooking of clams taken directly in the morning from the local catch and add the right touch with our lemons, to garnish and give the authentic and perfect scent. We will also discover an ancient traditional Roman recipe for doughnuts, prepared with a secret ingredient that makes them unique. Each guest will have everything they need for the class with Francesca, our expert cesarine.
I could not recommend Francesca enough. The whole experience was so much fun, really educational and we’ve left Civitavecchia with incredible memories of our afternoon in her kitchen. Was the highlight of our trip.

We had a wonderful time at Francesca’s villa! To be honest, my husband spents more time enjoying the wine than actually focusing on the cooking recipe, but we had an absolute blast anyway. Francesca was a fantastic and incredibly patient host. Beautiful place, great food, and a very fun atmosphere!

Hi, I'm Francesca! Originally from Naples but now living in Rome, I welcome my guests to a villa nestled among olive and fruit trees in the countryside of Civitavecchia. "Those who cook with love nourish more than just the body" – this philosophy guides every dish I prepare. Together, we’ll share the joy of picking vegetables from the garden, while discovering stories and traditions dating back to the early 1900s, offering a unique and authentic experience.
